How Kristin's approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood before moving on to tasks or strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reframe negative thinking and change unhelpful behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for trauma-related symptoms and involves structured processing of disturbing memories under the guidance of a therapist.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristin will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and will suggest which methods to try first. The choice of approach can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what feels manageable.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work when routines change or when coordinating around parenting and household responsibilities. Licensed professionals often combine talk-based work, skill practice, and brief between-session exercises effectively in remote sessions.
